Seeing this sort of thing will put me in a depression for at least a week. Even if I dont know the folks.

Let yourself feel the sadness and mourn with them. It’s good for your soul.
But make sure and turn it off right after by focusing on all the things you are grateful for.

So an “old lady” expresses her condolences in maybe the only way she can and it’s ok to tell her to leave?
Ok funeral tough guy. I hope no granny’s show up at yours for their sake.
I've been to plenty of funerals with plenty of old ladies, and never once did one of them pull the "It's god's plan" card.
99% of old ladies have more tact and class than that.
Stop pretending you know jack shite about anything.
EDIT- I see you are in Clayton GA. That changes everything. In Clayton, everything really is God's plan.

If you weep, you weep and it doesn't matter what others think

My goodness, what a bizarre post. First, prayers for the family. Losing a child is beyond words.
Second, this isn’t about your worry about your response. If you cry, you cry. If you don’t, you don’t. Everyone handles sorrow differently. It will not hurt them to see you she’d tears. They will know you are sorry as well. I’m sorry for you and the family.

Buried a friend's little 8 year old girl yesterday. My wife was literally like her second mom. Sunday night at the wake I was really struggling. Left and drove to town to the store. I cried for 15 miles. The pain in my wife and her parents was real, especially when there was nothing I could do. I'm no beta but I am ashamed I wouldn't let my emotions show at church in front of people. OP, you are a better man than me.

Went to the Funeral and it was fairly smooth. Dad was a soldier. Mom was broke up.
The hardest part was looking at his boys. We went on vacation together last summer and rented a big house. His boys were super rowdy because they live with their mother who doesn’t let them be boys. When they were visiting their dad in the last year or so his parents were mostly taking care of them because he was feeling so bad and they don’t really let them be boys either. They were just being kids and getting told to sit down and be quiet by the grandparents for a couple days, so I took them in a room and shut the doors, stripped all the pillows off the couches and had a wrestle mania. Grandmother came in there to see what all the noise was and I told her to back off. Dad sat on the couch and watched and laughed for an hour. That was the only time I heard him laugh since he got diagnosed.
Going up to those boys and giving my condolences was rough. They weren’t crying but could barely look up to make eye contact. I wish I could take them from their mom a couple days a month and let them be heathens with my kids running around in the woods. That would be the way to honor their father.
